The Pipeline Project is excited to announce that our applications for our 2018 Literacy Arts Alternative Spring Break Program are open! Looking for a meaningful way to spend your spring break? Look no further!

Dear Friends of OMAD,
On behalf of the OMAD Multicultural Outreach & Recruitment Office, I am pleased to announce the 2017-2018 Student Ambassador Program is accepting new applications.
Please help us spread the word to your outstanding students interested in making a difference!
What is a Student Ambassador?
Working as part of the Multicultural Outreach & Recruitment team, Student Ambassadors are influential student leaders engaged in creative, empowerment-based activities to encourage high school and middle-school students to pursue higher education.

It’s time to apply for Alternative Spring Break (ASB) – a chance for UW students to contribute to rural and tribal communities around Washington, have a cross-cultural, immersive exchange, and team-teach and mentor in K-12 settings!
We could not be more excited to advertise our two SCIENCE ASB programs (STEM and Environmental Science), flyers attached, which serve youth ages 10-18.
(If you are interested in Literacy ASB, applications will be out for that Monday Nov 13th!)
By building relationships and providing dynamic curriculum, Science ASB programs cultivate an interest in science, the self-esteem, and the leadership of the K-12 youth we work with.

Calling home the spirits of University of Washington student, staff, faculty, and alumni veterans of all generations.

There are over 1,800 current student veterans across our three campuses who currently call the University of Washington home, in addition to the countless alumni who have served. For many who came to UW after military service, campus was not always a welcoming place to be a veteran.
